Understand Your Needs then you'll Understand your Actions Understand Other's Needs then you'll Understand their Behaviours   

Do you find people are judgmental? 

Have you ever judged a person and thought, "why do they behave that way?" 

Have you ever had trouble changing a habit or trying to help another person improve theirs?  Understanding the reasons why people do what they do can be challenging. Sometimes we don't even have a clue as to what motivates our own behaviour, let alone theirs.   

Have you ever wondered why it's easy for you to do certain things and why other activities for you are such a chore? There is a superb explanation for that.   

The lessons unveiled in the next four episodes have been the most popular lessons I’ve shared at conferences, teaching rounds and with patients.  It is the six human needs framework, which has helped so many of my colleagues, medical learns, and patients. It has helped them understand what motivates human behaviour.   

The six human needs psychology helps us understand our decisions and behaviours which then helps us develop awareness about the choices we are making. So often we are unaware of why we do what we do.  I've used this to help individuals improve their relationships with their partner, "troubled teenager", improve their personal financial situations, change a habit, and so much more. The best part is that it is a profoundly simple framework that helps create change.   

I promise you these next four episodes are critical in understanding human behaviour. I've broken it up into four episodes because the lessons in each are valuable and profound. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.  In this episode, I talk about the need for certainty and uncertainty. And we certainly are living in uncertain times as we navigate the pandemic.  How are you handling life events presently? Are you managing well? If you're not, this episode will help shed some light as to why it is a challenge for you.
